There is currently fuel scarcity in Lagos, the nation's commercial capital, as queues have surfaced in parts of the state.

Findings by Daily Trust showed that many filling stations in the metropolis are currently experiencing long queues of motorists.

The situation, it was learnt, started on Monday morning and there are indications that the situation might get worse any time soon.

Similarly on the same Ogunnusi road outward Lagos, the NNPCL filling station near Omole Phase One gate also has a long queue of motorists almost extending to Lateef Jakande Road.
